From staff
NAS Jax Air Operations Department received a call from Florida Highway Patrol Dec. 8 saying there was “aircraft debris” on the I-295 Buckman Bridge.
Sailors from the NAS Jax Transient Line drove to the bridge and recovered the part.
After inspection, it did not appear to be from an H-60, P-3, P-8, C-130 or C-40 aircraft.
The part is fiberglass and, from the markings, it appeared to be an engine intake cowling.
